An appraisal on enablers for enhancement of waste cooking oil-based biodiesel production facilities using the interpretative structural modeling approach

Abstract

With the continuous depletion of energy sources globally and serious concern regarding environmental degradation by the use of fossil fuel, biodiesel may play a key transponder. Biodiesel blended with diesel fuel achieves a decreased environmental footprint without losing the reliability of output and consumption. Biodiesel is produced from a variety of sources. Biodiesel generation from waste cooking oil (WCO) is effective for both the atmosphere and human health. Many research studies reported WCO biodiesel as a potential alternative fuel for internal combustion engine. The present study aims to provide key promoting and implementing agents for WCO utilization and WCO-based biodiesel production. A systematic literature review has been performed to identify enablers and the contextual relationship between various enablers was developed using interpretative structural modeling (ISM) and expert views. Using the method of ISM and cross-impact matrix multiplication applied to classification (MICMAC) methodology, the impact of enablers is studied. The findings revealed that all established enablers play an important role and are equally important promoters for the development of biodiesel based on WCO. The findings further suggest that human health issues, biodiesel processing plants, biodiesel support vehicles, and biodiesel production technology play a key role in the manufacture of biodiesel dependent on WCO. The most important leaders in the development of WCO biodiesel are government policy and funding, confidence in environmental issues, and financial assistance to biodiesel manufacturers.

Pelatihan Pembuatan Sabun Lunak Berbahan Baku Limbah Batang Pisang Kepok dan Minyak Jelantah kepada Komunitas Pengguna Teknologi Tepat Guna

“…Pengolahan minyak jelantah menjadi produk yang bermanfaat dan memiliki nilai ekonomis, menjadi salah satu solusi untuk mengurangi pencemaran lingkungan yang timbul akibat minyak jelantah. Minyak jelantah masih dapat dimanfaatkan menjadi berbagai jenis produk olahan yang bermanfaat, seperti biodiesel sebagai sumber energi, sabun, pelumas, poliuretan, polihidroksibutirat, biohidrogen, minyak pirolutik dan listrik (Altun, 2019;Antonić et al, 2020;Djayasinga et al, 2022;Erchamo et al, 2021;Handayani dkk., 2021;Kukana and Jakhar, 2021;Mahlia et al, 2019;Mannu et al, 2019;Ranganathan et al, 2020). Hal ini menunjukan bahwa limbah minyak jelantah sangat bepotensi untuk dimanfaatkan kembali agar efek negatif dari limbah tersebut dapat dikurangi.…”

Waste Food Oils as Components of Eco-Friendly Grease

“…Currently, the cost of waste food oil (WFO) is 2-3 times less than fresh vegetable oil, [5][6][7] therefore it is considered as a promising source for oleochemical products production. WFOs are geographically generated everywhere, mainly in households, hotel and catering sector, and their current global production is estimated at 20-32 % of the total vegetable oils consumption (41-67 Mt/y).…”

Transformation of triolein to biogasoline by photo-chemo-biocatalysis

“…[1][2][3][4][5] Some achievements have been made, such as bioethanol prepared from crop residues and weedy biomass sources by a fermentation process, mainly as a gasoline additive for octane boosting, [6][7][8][9] or biodiesel prepared from lipids by the transesterification of triacylglycerides with methanol or ethanol, presently used as a diesel additive. [10][11][12] Moreover, bio-hydrocarbons, which are oxygen-free renewable biofuels composed of liquid hydrocarbons completely compatible with petroleum fuels, have attracted much attention in the transport sector, mainly in aeronautics. 13,14 Especially, biogasoline (gasoline-range bio-hydrocarbon) is of great significance due to its high energy density, low viscosity, high stability, shorter ignition delay, and low-pollutant combustion.…”
